Business Intelligence Solutions

Your organization relies on business intelligence (BI) to support decision making that can help you create a competitive advantage and improve your bottom line.

BI helps you accomplish this by integrating, storing, reporting, and analyzing data so that it delivers insight, which in turn drives better business performance. But those advantages can be wasted if you buy a disparate set of tools and have to spend time, money, and resources to implement them and to train people how to use them. Microsoft BI can help you avoid such a costly route.

Microsoft Business Intelligence offers the only complete, fully integrated set of BI technologies that can help make building, managing and using BI less complicated and more economical. Because it’s likely that you already use one or several of the components of the Microsoft BI stack—such as Microsoft Office system programs or Microsoft SQL Server—building a Microsoft BI solution is a matter of applying those tools and using your current technology assets. The result is that you and your organization can have the full advantages of a complete set of BI capabilities.

Microsoft BI is delivered through three layers or workloads: data warehousing, reporting and analysis, and performance management:

  • Data warehousing is your foundation to provide insight into your corporate data through an integrated, centrally managed, and trusted data source. Microsoft BI provides the proven capabilities of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Integration Services that can help you easily build and manage data warehouses that scale to meet the needs of even the largest and most complex organizations.
  • Reporting and Analysis - Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) offers reporting analysis tools that can help you transform collections of raw data into information and insight.

    Microsoft BI provides you with reporting tools, analysis tools, and technologies that can map to your specific needs. You can work with the widely used and now improved Microsoft Office Excel 2007, SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, Report Builder, ProClarity Analytics, and data mining. What’s more, to help you share insights with others, Microsoft BI uses both the BI capabilities built into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and its core collaboration, search, and document management capabilities. With Microsoft BI, you have easy-to-use, economical tools that can help you access, report, analyze, and share information across your organization.
  • Performance Management - Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) can help your organization align the decision-making process through three capabilities: monitoring, analytics, and planning. These capabilities are built into Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007, a powerful performance management application that provides you with the infrastructure to link people at all levels of your organization—from executives to individual contributors—to your overall corporate strategy. Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 builds on the familiar Microsoft Office system environment and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
